#Ecoevenia

#ecoevenia

At a time when awareness of the environment is increasingly important, as a company we must decide what role we want to play. At Evenia Hotels we believe it’s time to act and contribute in a small way to try to tackle the consequences we suffer because of global warming and pollution. And it is based on this commitment that Evenia Hotels wants to contribute actively, not only in a substantial improvement in the management of waste generated, but also in the awareness and education of sustainable tourism.

At Evenia Hotels we are aware of this problem and that’s why we have developed a series of initiatives to motivate a more sustainable tourism, thus the #ecoevenia project was born. The objective is to help reducing the environmental impact of our hotels and resorts to minimize our ecological footprint. And not only that, but also educate and encourage a commitment from all those who visit us, as well as publicize a viable and profitable project among the other chains in the sector.

The objectives of the #ecoevenia project are ambitious and want to be achieved in a short period of time:

Completely eliminate the use of plastic throughout the resort

Reuse as much paper as possible to care for our forests

Reduce water consumption to protect the water resources that nature offers us

#ecoevenia at Evenia Olimpic Resort

This initiative is already a reality in our first ecological hotel. In Evenia Olimpic Resort several changes have been developed to meet the objectives set and implement them in the future in the rest of the hotels and resorts of the Evenia chain. This is where our change begins, this is where our future begins.

Here are just a few examples of the changes that have been developed to gradually transform the Evenia Olimpic Resort into a 100% ecological hotel.

Drinking water fountains

One of the big problems of environmental impact is plastic. That is why drinking water fountains have been distributed throughout the resort, so that each of our clients can have water without the need to purchase disposable plastic water bottles.

Specifically, you will find water fountains in bars, snack bars, mini-clubs and in all the restaurants of the resort. In these dispensers you can choose between cool, room temperature and sparkling water. In addition, customers will be able to purchase #ecoevenia canteens at hotel receptions with a very attractive design so that it can be filled with water from the fountains. We also have the “Canteen Kid” version for the little ones!

The #ecoevenia canteens are for sale at hotel receptions for €6, one of which is donated to Fecdas, Catalan Federation of underwater activities, for the development of cleaning and environmental awareness activities.

Plastics reduction

Every major change begins with small steps, and in this regard, we have designed a plan to reduce the single-use plastics throughout the resort. Plastic is one of the biggest causes of non-disposable waste, and it is key to reduce its consumption to free our seas and oceans from these pollutants. Currently we no longer use disposable plastic bottles at the resort. We have implemented the use of compostable plastic for those objects of a single-use, such as glasses for hot and cold drinks.

100% Recycled paper

Another of the reduction fronts of our ecological footprint is paper. Both the table linen and the napkin of the restaurants and bars at Evenia Olimpic Resort are currently made of 100% recycled paper.

Kitchen with proximity products

Gastronomy is also an important piece in the #ecoevenia project. Only using ecological and proximity products we can reduce the environmental impact greatly. In this sense, in all Evenia Olimpic Resort restaurants we offer our customers seasonal products, coming from crops and farms of proximity, as well as the seas of our coasts.

You will taste the best of Mediterranean cuisine made in a healthy way with fresh and local products. A whole bet of our resort to delight the palate of our customers, which has also allowed us to obtain the prestigious Amed certification (Mediterranean Food) of the Generalitat de Catalunya. You can read more about our restaurants through this link.

These are the foundations of a continuous project that we will carry out in our hotel chain. The intention and motivation of Evenia Hotels is to guarantee a more respectful future with the environment that surrounds us and with the planet Earth. We invite all our clients to join our initiative and contribute, in this way, to a better future for all. Do you sign up?
